The Biggest Piece of Hyperbole Ever

Back in Los Angeles from the East Coast. It's been raining here a lot. You know, just sort of... wet. Whatever. Except on the news they're talking about how it's "pouring" and we're being "drenched" and it's "downpour" and "storms." They have reporters "live on the scene" (i.e. some jerk in a trench coat holding a mic at an intersection where water comes up to his ankle).

Are they aware of what happened on the other side of the Pacific? Because they did this a few months ago - when we were "inundated with storms" and meanwhile Florida had a hurricane epidemic.

This town sucks.
